Re: blu-ray rips

[Brian Smith <briview@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm afraid my experience has been less positive.  I have *tried* to
get generic playback from a pc and have failed miserably.  There has always
been a missing codec or piece of supporting software.  In the end I bought
a dune 101 and subsequent 301 that has played anything I have thrown at it
without issue.

Regards

Brian
